Internet High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve closing table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest gamblers anywhere in the world. While competing in internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly plays in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
